Leave a comment

Disclosure: This is my own personal opinion. I have not been paid by Apple, Intel, Qualcomm, AMD, or anyone else to write it. TL;DR: The MacBook Neo is not the most powerful laptop here, and it is not the best specs bargain. At $599, it is the simplest smart laptop buy in a very messy 2026 market. Buy the Neo for the cheapest Mac that still feels fast and polished. Buy the M4 MacBook Air for the better long-term Mac.
